Employees of Premier Horticulture walked out onto the picket line on Aug. 4. “Wages for these workers have not kept pace with inflation,” Geoff Dueck Thiessen, the regional director of the CLAC said. CLAC Employees of Premier Horticulture have been on strike since Tuesday. Premier Horticulture employs people who harvest peat moss from peat bogs and package it at a plant near Richer. As employees walk the picket line, Dueck Thiessen said he’s hoping to see resolution.
